In the past year we’ve had the immense pleasure to work with Jo. She has brought a huge amount of talent and personality to our team, made an outstanding contribution to our programming and created some truly fantastic moments on-air. It’s therefore with more than just a little lump in my throat that I bring the news that we will soon be parting company, as our programme schedule in the early mornings and at the weekends undergoes a slight change of focus.
We’re going to miss her presence and so will the listeners. Jo has played a big part in our first year and those of us that have had the great honour to work with her can consider ourselves lucky to have enjoyed the experience. And it’s become clear that working with Jo is an experience full of enjoyment.
We still have a month to make the most of the pleasure of her company and talents though, so before she leaves I’d like to seize this moment to thank Jo for all her hard work, for being here at the start of our new adventure and for 12 months of great radio, we couldn‘t have done it without you.
Nobody knows this more than Paul Sylvester, so I’d like to give the last word to him:
To be honest I was about to file for sexual harassment, so I’m happy. Seriously though, I’ve had the most fun in my career working with Jo over the last year (I’ve never laughed so much) although her menopause have affected us both badly. It’s a bit of a blurrrrr as to what was on the radio and what wasn’t but Jo Jo has become a great friend (Her Mum’s even invited me to Barry Manilow with her). Given the fact Jo’s been seriously ill and lost close family members, to know what she’s achieved is amazing. In the words of Patsy from Absolutely Fabulous ‘It’s a miracle she can walk at all!’

We will be announcing schedule changes shortly, but this moment is Jo’s, so please join me in paying thanks and wishing her well for the future.
Tony
